Water advocate Sharon Kleyne recently quizzed her radio audience about some alarming but undeniable statistics. Kleyne wonders if you know that the National Health Survey announced that 30 million Americans will be blind within the next four years? Did you know that by then nearly 60 million Chinese will also be blind? Now imagine blindness totals from every country in the world. That’s right. We are looking at a blindness epidemic of global proportions. People are already going blind by the billions.

It’s statistics like these that inspire Water advocate Kleyne, founder of Bio-Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science® and creator of Nature’s Tears® EyeMist® to ramp up her research every day. These are the stats that motivate her into her work on her radio show and at her research center to find answers and new water technology that will turn the tide on blindness.

Ys, Kleyne believes that millions of people—perhaps billions—can be saved from blindness. Just how can that happen? Through better education, that’s how. Kleyne has spent more than two decades as one of the most respected water educators on the planet and she is not letting up. “We can’t afford to relax our efforts and grow complacent,” she said. “People need to commit themselves to learning all that they can about eye diseases such as dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, cataracts and blindness, too.”

In Kleyne’s view, dry eye is a prime enemy because so many people worldwide experience symptoms of soreness, swelling, redness, blurriness and acute pain. Chinese medical professionals believe that almost the entire Chinese population suffers from dry eye symptoms at some point in their lives. The same can be said of the U.S. and virtually every other country on earth.

Kleyne knows that understanding the process of evaporation is essential to becoming proactive about one’s ocular health. Kleyne described how a natural process of evaporation begins and continues until death the moment the baby departs the mother’s watery womb and is born. All through life, if one wishes to be healthy, one must supplement the lost water vapor of body and eyes. This must be done on a daily basis and several times a day. “The eye’s tear film,” Kleyne said, “is naturally 99 percent water. When water in the eye evaporates and is not replenished,” Kleyne continued, “one is in for serious ramifications, including blindness.” Conventional eye drops and saline solutions only trap moisture already present in the eye, but they do not replenish evaporated moisture. It is best to use them with a pure water product like Nature’s Tears® EyeMist®, applying the mist first, then the drops or saline solution.

“Please resolve to take greater charge of your health,” says Kleyne, “especially your eyes and the precious gift of sight. You only have two eyes,” Kleyne reminds us, “and they are almost completely made up of water. If you want to see clearly, you must keep your eyes hydrated!”
